Oh, he'll improve the team but I doubt the Vikings "make Favre retired after week 1". That team was spanked by the Packers last year and adding a few pieces isn't going to change that.

dude there is sth in this world, maybe you havent heard of it, but its called:

exaggeration

v. ex·ag·ger·at·ed, ex·ag·ger·at·ing, ex·ag·ger·ates
v.tr.
1. To represent as greater than is actually the case; overstate: exaggerate the size of the enemy force; exaggerated his own role in the episode.
2. To enlarge or increase to an abnormal degree: thick lenses that exaggerated the size of her eyes.

It's not just what we did. It's who the Packers lost. Without Favre, you are an 8-8 team.

Packers are still a better team top to bottom than the Vikings, even without Favre. Add in the fact that Rodgers is likely going to be better than Jackson, and I can't see the Vikings staying in the race for the NFC North with the Packers.

One player isn't going to change the disgraceful team the Vikings have put on the field the past few seasons, especially when that player is an idiot off-the-field and he's going to the land of the party boat.

This guy is obviously off, however; ever since the Vikings made that trade Vikings fans have been acting like they're the Patriots. Very annoying.

Not really. I hate the hype we are getting. I don't think we are a Super Bowl team. I think we can get to the playoffs and win one or two games, but we still have too many holes. I do however think we are the team to beat in the division.

This reminds me of Cards fans who thought they were a playoff team every season because of a handful of players they acquired. A team that could only be described as bad last year is suddenly the team to beat in the division? Over last year's youngest team that went to the NFC Conference championship? Yes, Favre is a loss but that offence is still leagues better than what the Vikings are going to put on the field.

We were one game away from the playoffs last year, that's hardly "bad." I don't see how the addition of one of the best pass rushers in the game can't put us over the top, when that was the only thing holding us back from being a top 3 defense.

Packers are still a better team top to bottom than the Vikings, even without Favre.

QB - Even (Yeah Jackson sucks, but no one on the Packers are proven in the least bit)
RB - Vikings (All-Day)
WR - Packers (With 4 #1 WRs on their roster, they are sure to have the best passing game in the league =D)
OL - Even (Chad Clifton is one of the league's underrated LTs and the Packers pass blocking is top-notch. It is even just because of how sick the the run-blocking is for the Vikings)
DL - Vikings (The best 4-3 DL now that Strahan retired)
LB - Packers (Quality on all fronts here)
DB - Packers (The Packers sport two quality CBs, but if Al Harris plays like he did in the NFC Championship game, their secondary will struggle. The Vikings have some very nice youth in Griffin and McCauley, but they really need consistency for their secondary to be better than the Packers.)

Ok, quick run down on my comparisons of the 2 teams. They are actually fairly even when you compare the teams, so I wouldn't be surprised if the Vikings finish with a better record than the Packers.
